I was working a corporate job for years and it always felt restrictive, it felt like I was doing something I wasn't supposed to be doing.

Even when I was just designing T-shirts people really gravitated to them.

I don't just want to put a price tag on pieces because I can. I don't want put a price tag on pieces that are unreasonable either. Just because people might buy it doesn't mean you won't alienate fans eventually.

I want to represent the street, not in a negative sense, but in the sense that when I was growing up, that's what I grew up on.

I started out doing everything on a custom scale and when that started paying the bills I started making more pieces.

Somebody once told me if you're doing what you're supposed to you don't have to force it.

Even though I wasn't making a lot of money I was enjoying what I was doing.
